Don't be tempted by knock-offs
The Speedheater Infrared Paint Remover is the ORIGINAL infrared paint remover introduced to the USA in 2002. Its innovative technology has been copied by two American manufacturers. Don't be fooled by these copycat models one of which looks identical to the Speedheater, which have not been UL certified nor quality and safety tested as has the Speedheater.

Trust the time-proven quality and reliabilty of the Swedish designed and manufactured Speedheater™ products. Speedheater Systems™ continues its dedication to painter efficiency and high quality results by developing products such as hands-free attachments. You can see the Speedheater Infrared Paint Remover in action Here.

The top layer of paint is often seen as the one responsible for peeling and cracking, when it is really the bottom layer which does not have good adhesion. As paint ages and more layers are added, the thickness of the coats builds up and the adhesion of the foundation layer deteriorates.

By removing all the layers of paint and exposing the bare wood again, strong, long-lasting painting can begin using primer and undercoats which offer good adhesion. We have a 66-minute training DVD demonstrating how to use the Speedheater tools on many interior and exterior applications and with lead-safe work practices. You can obtain it here.
